The concepts and decision making are all game sense that you pick up from experience. There isn't a guide you can read where you should do A then B then C then D. Jungling doesn't work like that, it's all how the game is flowing at that moment. As a general rule of thumb:
You have to weigh these options all at once and make split second decisions about which one is going to yield the most benefit for your team.

As for a general what to do- as others have said, it is very situational and takes a lot of practice. A good way to learn is to watch people like Saintvicious and Dan Dinh stream, then just do exactly what they do. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt, but you begin to learn what to look for. | ||

Traditional US style jungle dictates that you are a 4th carry- carries need items. Items require farm. The worst thing you can do is focus too much on counterjungling and ganking, and not level yourself up.

I only have a few games under my belt as a jungler but yes I can say that was what happened. Initially I was jungling nunu but I was just running around from lane to lane confused and got insanely behind on farm. In fact the only time I've had a successful game jungling is when I played warwick and actually managed to get nice ganks & we won that game, even tho the stupid riven who was solo top actually came down and stole my blue buff at the start of the game. | ||

You have to weigh these options all at once and make split second decisions about which one is going to yield the most benefit for your team. One nitpick. Failing to get a kill is not necessarily a failed gank so long as you force the enemy to blow summoner spells. A flash/exhaust burned to escape from you is one they won't have when they try to gank your team or survive a later skirmish/gank. This is especially true if you burn an Alistar/Taric's flash, as that greatly reduces their ability to initiate action on your carry/support. | ||

This is especially true if you burn an Alistar/Taric's flash, as that greatly reduces their ability to initiate action on your carry/support. Ganks aren't even a binary issue of "this gank succeeded", "this gank failed". Obviously there are some that are very clearly worth it (e.g. you get a kill and a tower), but most of the time it's an issue of "was the gank better than whatever else you could have accomplished?" Sometimes, if the situation makes it so, even jumping into the lane, putting 100-200 damage on the laner and leaving, or just moving in and watching their response to see if they've warded is "successful" gank simply because there's not a whole lot else you could have done at the time. | ||

And this does put pressure on the enemy laner, if he just had to eat 200 dmg (and might return some to you) he is now at 200 deficit vs his opponent who now has a possible upper hand to pressure him for more trades, try a kill or even start zoning or denying him. Ganks don't need to end in kills and not always even blowing summoners to put pressure on lane. Naturally ofc the rage inducing factor if you "gank" say top lane everytime you clear a camp top side of map, will make their top laner very wary as you seem to be camping his lane non stop. Amplify with a pink ward (or your top can do this) on his ward in the river to clean it out and enjoy the /all chat from a frustrated enemy top laner. | ||

What this means is that the longer you go without critting, the more likely it is the next hit will critical. If you just crit with an attack, it's less likely that your next attack will crit. Same for dodge. There's algorithms to ensure that your overall crit chance is what it shows up to be, but this helps prevent long strings of "i crit them 5000x in a row" and not critting 10 times in a row when you have 99% crit chance. The system has its own problems - when they first introduced it, characters with 100% crit chance would never crit because they messed up the algorithm. | ||

Is there any more detail? Shouldn't you just purposely engage after a long series of no-crit, or engage right after your opponent gets a random crit? | ||
